Cool off with this vibrant and refreshing Fruit Freeze, a naturally sweet frozen treat that's packed with the bold flavors of mixed berries, ripe mango, and creamy banana. Perfect for hot summer days or a healthy dessert option, this no-cook recipe comes together in just 10 minutes with a quick blend of fresh or frozen fruits, a splash of tangy orange and lemon juices, and a touch of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness (if desired). Whether you pour it into popsicle molds for handheld fun or freeze it in a container for scoopable sorbet, this delightful treat is bursting with antioxidants, vitamins, and tropical goodness. Kid-friendly, dairy-free, and vegan-friendly, Fruit Freeze is a guilt-free indulgence that makes for a refreshing finish to any meal or a midday snack to beat the heat.
Wash the mixed berries thoroughly under cold water, if using fresh fruit. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel the banana and slice it into chunks for easier blending.
If the mango isn't pre-chopped, peel it and cut it into cubes, discarding the pit.
In a high-speed blender, combine mixed berries, mango chunks, banana, orange juice, honey or maple syrup (if using), and lemon juice.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides with a spatula as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup, if desired.
Pour the blended fruit mixture evenly into popsicle molds, ice cube trays, or a shallow freezer-safe container.
Insert popsicle sticks if using molds or ice cube trays. If a shallow container is used, cover it tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
Freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until completely solid.
Once frozen, remove popsicles from the molds by running the mold under warm water to loosen them, or scoop servings from the shallow container like a sorbet.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Fruit Freeze!
